IU vs its competition for No. 4 seed

At this point, there are no more ifs. The last game on the docket before Tournament selection is the Big Ten Championship between Michigan State and Ohio State. The NCAA Tournament selection committee has apparently already drawn up a bracket with contingency plans for that, and regardless, it doesn’t affect Indiana’s seeding at all.

Earlier games today probably did, however. Florida State won the ACC title after beating North Carolina and Duke in consecutive days and Vanderbilt joined Indiana as the second team this year to beat No. 1 Kentucky.

So now, the selection committee has complete resumes to look at. Here’s how Indiana’s stacks up compared to the other teams they’ll be measured against. RPI numbers are the latest I could find and most likely will be slightly different based on today’s events.

Indiana (25-8)

RPI: No. 17

Strength of Schedule: No. 23

Record vs. RPI Top 50: 8-5

Conference Record, Place and Tournament finish: 11-7, fifth in Big Ten, lost in quarterfinals to Wisconsin
